Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing incomplete urination and an increase in residual urine. After a check-up, it was found that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. I was wondering, what are the effective treatments for prostate enlargement?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), has two treatment options: medication and surgery! The indication for surgery is a bladder residual urine volume greater than 50ml. Considering your age, medication is more likely to be recommended, as surgery is more commonly performed on patients over 60 years old! BPH can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
